Polanco’s late-season surge has Seattle riding a hot bat. Since June, his power has returned and his hitting has become the Mariners’ engine, especially in the clutch. He’s trading homers for doubles as the weather warms, and his two-strike, patient approach keeps rallies alive and lines Seattle up for continued wins.

In high-leverage spots he’s delivering like a star, with a .333/.402/.559 line with runners in scoring position and a historically strong wRC+ in those moments. Manager Dan Wilson has praised his discipline and timing, underscoring Polanco as a fantasy anchor as Seattle leans on him in the heart of the order.

Tuesday’s 11-game slate tilts toward pitching excellence with Freddy Peralta, Logan Gilbert and Cristopher Sanchez leading the charge. Mid-range options like Cam Schlittler and Shohei Ohtani offer salary-efficient paths, while Ryan Pepiot provides a safe floor in favorable spots. Key stacks target Milwaukee vs Angels, Arizona vs San Francisco, and Marlins in Coors Field, complemented by value plays around Eduardo Rodriguez and Padres power. Build around the arms and leverage the bat-friendly environments to differentiation.
